this is the rarest thing to catch at the STVFE (stranglethorn vale fishing extravaganza) every sunday 2-4pm server time you can only catch it in the pools of tastyfish

Are there any other "fish weapons" in the game?

Comment by Kolthor

To my knowledge, this and Steelscale Crushfish are the only two fish, that can be used as a weapon. And they are extremely rare, at the very best, 0.1% drop chance.

I got this yesterday during the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza, and I love it! There's nothing like beating someone in a duel, with a fish :PI'm going to test whether enchant glows are possible with some cheap enchant, and if they are, put mongoose on it!

This item is part of the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition. Which takes place every Sunday between 14:00 and 16:00 Server time.

Once someone has won the fishing competition, you can still hand in your remaining Speckled Tastyfish to Jang in Bootybay. (repeatable quest)

Here is a link to all the rare fish that can be caught during the Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Competition and their drop chance (with thanks to Zubzubs's post on the Lucky Fishing Hat), plus the rewards you get when catching one and handing them in at the Fishbot 5000 in Bootybay

The 17, 19, 22, 26, and 32 pound catfish are all equip-able, but they are all offhand, thus you cannot dual wield them alone.

Comment by Aramathea

Maybe I could use this or the Steelscale Crushfish to chop down the mightiest tree in the forest instead of that stupid herring the knight gave me.........

Does anyone else think it's intriguing that you can Disenchant a fish?

Who enchanted the fish in the first place?

Imagine seeing that in real life... Your out fishing, enjoying a nice Sunday afternoon, you see someone else fishing nearby.

This other fisherman catches a medium sized fish, gets his lure out from it's mouth, this person then begins some kind of strange ritual over the fish, hands glowing blue... then *Poof* Fish is reduced to a small glowing fragment.

Fisherman places strange object into his bag and continues fishing as if nothing happened, perhaps occasionaly exclaiming that his skill went up by 1.

All of a sudden, the Beverly Hills Ninja scene where Chris Farley is beating attackers with fishes comes to mind...

Comment by LoreKeeperMobius

but how can you disenchant a fish?

Comment by Irishenigma

In terms of disenchanting fish maces, I honestly think it would be awesome if Blizzard gave them special loot tables that award stacks of things such as shiny fish scales or bones.

Hmm...so, would a Tank wielding a fish....be a "Fish-Tank"? :-)

I gotta million of 'em! Ha-cha-cha-cha! :-)

Comment by Ellarnia

Comment by Yautja78

I would love if Blizzard had a sense of humor and let ppl transmog this, imagine a DK in purple judgement gear slapping a boss in the face with a fish!

Comment by Dudash

I was just fishing in the Tastyfish pools during the STV tourney hoping to fish up the rare fish that you can turn in for the boots from the time they first appeared until when they disappeared. No luck getting any of the rare fish from the tourney. Instead, with 5min until the Tastyfish disappear, I fish up this guy. He got me my accomplished angler achievement but I was disappointed cus I saw I had gotten a green item and it got me excited and then I realized it was the wrong kind of rare fish. lol.

If you are trying to fish this guy up, do it during the STV tourney cus at least instead of sitting there hoping for him, you can get a chance of getting a rare fish from the tourney and even if you dont, you can turn in the tastyfish for some gold.
